To play Museum Pictura, first, each player takes on the role of an art museum curator. The game is set in the 1920s. You'll start by trying to acquire painting cards. These cards can be grouped into collections based on either the period of the painting or its domain. Place the painting cards on your player board, which represents your museum. Your goal is to create as many valuable collections as you can to earn prestige points. During the game, keep an eye on the art trends. Try to exhibit paintings that are currently in high demand to get additional points. When your collections grow, you can hold a temporary exhibition. This lets you score the value of the collection right away and get special bonuses for the rest of the game. But don't overdo it. If you keep showing the same type of collection, your visitors will get bored. So, choose the right time for your exhibitions. After the game, make sure to keep the cards in a dry and cool place to prevent damage. Also, don't bend or crease the cards. This way, you can enjoy playing Museum Pictura many times over.
